Green delusionists attending COP30 are clueless of their renewable idealism

1. Their zero-emission movement is a delusion that JUST electricity generated from wind and solar can replace refineries and the crude oil that they process to support the variety of the more than 6,000 products and fuels in our materialistic society that did not exist 200 years ago.
2. They also remain oblivious that underground hydrocarbon resources of coal, crude oil, and natural gas are totally useless unless processed into something useful to meet the demands of humanity. Humanity needs the products, but they are incapable of identifying the substitutes for fossil fuels to provide the supply chain source for those products.
3. They cannot explain how wind and solar can support the 50,000 merchant ships, 20,000 commercial aircraft, 50,000 military aircraft, and more than 300 cruise ships that did not exist 200 years ago, before those fossil fuel products were developed.
4. They cannot comprehend that ALL electricity, from hydro, coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, and solar come AFTER oil, as all the parts and components to make electricity are made from fossil fuels.

The path forward cannot be dictated by a centralized global plan that seeks to control the generation of electricity and economies from the top down. Each nation must be free to advance policies consistent with its own history, culture, and material realities, cooperating through mutual respect rather than imposing conformity. Humanity must rediscover balance - between progress and preservation, between innovation and responsibility, and between global ambition and local reality. That balance must also guide how nations and governments pursue electricity transitions in practice.

However, many governments, in their rush to appear green, often subsidize uneconomic projects, distorting markets and burdening taxpayers. The lesson is not that innovation should stop-it should continue vigorously-but that technology must mature before being imposed by government policy of mandates and subsidies. Engineering progress cannot be legislated into existence by politicians.

If any of the "green" delusionists are seriously considering a run for a political leadership position, or for the Presidency of the United States, such as California's Governor Gavin Newsom,

For the COP30 attendees in Brazil that do not comprehend that JUST electricity generated from wind and solar will negatively impact humanity demands for the products,they'd best provide answers to the more than 8 billion on this planet as to how JUST electricity from wind and solar can support the supply chain of more than 6,000 products and transportation fuels to keep operating our hospitals, airports, militaries, offices, and datacenters. COP30 should serve not as a forum for ideology, but for rediscovering balance - a balance between humanity's needs and nature's limits.

In summary, true climate progress begins not with mandates, but with energy literacy - understanding what energy can and cannot do and respecting the balance between ambition and reality.
